The Little Merman and The Little Ghost Boy

Explanations are in Order

Nico's Point

"Mr. Hot stuff is back!" Leo said after swinging the dinning doors open.

I looked over at Percy and nodded sideways in Leo's direction, he nodded back at me and we both got up and walked over to Him.

"Hey guys! Did you miss me?" Leo asked  with a grin. Standing on either  side of him we both looked him dead in the eyes then punched him in the shoulder

"Ow! What was that for?" Leo asked

"Lying to us" I said

"Making us look like idiots" Percy

"I bet you don't even have a girl on a island, do you?" I said

"Oh, Yes." He said looked outside the door

"Calypso?" He called

"One moment" He told us before walking out.

"He ran" I said

"Definitely" Percy said

"Let's go back and eat" I said

"Good idea" Percy said

"Percy" I said

"Yeah?" He asked

"You think anything with food is a good idea" I said

"True" He said.
We turned to walk back when I heard foot steps behind us I looked back I saw Leo grinning wide with a girl next to him. I smacked Percy on the shoulder with the back of my hand to make him turn and when he did his eyes got wide.

"Everybody, meet Calypso!" Leo yelled proudly

"Wait, your island girl is real?" Percy asked

"Ofcourse she's real" Leo said sounding slightly offended

"You can blame us for doubting you, you did lie about almost everything else" I said

"Yeah like the dinglehopper" Percy said

"And the snufblust " I said

"And-" Percy started to say but Leo cut in

"Okay, okay. I see your point" He said

"So?" I asked

"So what?" Leo ask

"Are you going to explain everything to us? Last we knew you were a dragon on a island and now your a human"

"I was human before I was a dragon" Leo said

"And how did you become a dragon then?" Percy asked

"Nyx" Leo said

"Wait! Are you telling me you knew about Nyx and you DIDN'T tell us!?" I yelled

"What was I supposed to say? By the time I knew you were involved with her you were already human" Leo said

"You still could have told us!"Percy yelled

"Your right. I could have told you that you made a big mistake, that Nyx likes to screw people over and make you panic or I could just try and help you complete your end of the bargain" Leo said

"That's actually really smart" I said

"He may not always look like it, but he's a genius" Calypso said looking at Leo which earned her a grin and blush from him

"Thanks, Cal" Leo said

"Why don't we go sit, then Leo can start from the beginning and tell you everything" Calypso said

"Sounds good, I'd like to finish my food" Percy said

I went and sat back down next to Will and Leo sat on the other side of him with Calypso next to him and Ofcourse Percy sat back down next to Annabeth.

Leo's Point

"How are you doing?" I asked Will.

Will looked at Nico and smiled then grabbed his hand and interlocked their fingers together.

"Great" He replied simply before looking back at me.

"Now I'd like to hear about how you turned into a dragon" Will said

"Well it was towards the end of the war when it seemed like we might lose" I said

"I remember that. It was a dark time that is until-" Annabeth started to say but then stop as if she had just thought of something which knowing her she probably did. I simply looked at her and nodded.

"I was looking with Jason for anything that could help us win the war when we ran into Nyx. She told us that she could give us a potion that would give us the strength to win but that it would come at a price" I said

"What was the price?" Percy asked

I froze for a moment my smile dropping completely for the first time that day as I thought about what it was she had asked for.

"Leo?" Calypso asked softly placing her hand on my knee. I grabbed her hand and squeezed it.

"I didn't ask at the time" I said
Before continuing my story.

"I took the potion without hesitation telling Jason that I would hold onto it until we needed it and then we would discuss who would use it but I never had any intention of letting Jason use it"  I said taking a small pause before continuing

"When we got back to the battle field things had taken a turn for the worst, so many people had fallen and Jason had run off to help Piper" I said

"His girlfriend and my best friend, along with Jason" I added for Nico and Percy

"I-I should have followed him, I should have taken the potion right then...maybe then I could have save him" I said clutching my fist as I felt tears pool in my eyes. Will placed a hand on my shoulder and I looked up at him.

"You can't blame yourself" He said softly.

"But-" I started before Annabeth cut me off

"No, Will's right. We lost a lot of good people, a lot of friends and family but it does us no good to sit back and beat ourselves up about what we could have done because there's no way we could have saved everyone and they wouldn't want us to dwell on their deaths but instead to remember and honor them for their sacrifice" She said

"Jason is at peace with what happened. His only want is for all of his friends to be happy" Nico said

"Sounds like him" I said before taking a shakey breath.
